Anglo-Saxon mythology refers to the belief systems and stories of the Anglo-Saxon people, who inhabited England from the 5th to the 12th centuries. This mythology is characterized by a pantheon of gods and goddesses, such as Woden (Odin), Thunor (Thor), and Frigg (Frigga), along with various mythical creatures and legendary heroes. The myths often emphasize themes of fate, heroism, and the struggle between good and evil. Important texts, like Beowulf, provide insight into these beliefs, showcasing the values and cultural identity of the Anglo-Saxon society through their tales of bravery and supernatural elements.
